I think I need a sponsor

So I'm truly enjoying this. I'm finding myself logging on, reading posts by others that are going through similar and different experiences. It's a great perspective. I'm gathering routine is something many of you have. So I'm thinking perhaps a sponsor could help direct me on things I should and can be doing. Lord knows I shouldn't be left in control :joy:. Thanks to everyone here that has the courage to post. Whether it's a post about struggling or not, I'm inspired to try the things I'm reading such as meditation journaling... exercise yea... I'm warming up to that idea still lol. Thanks all

That's your call. When you say you are considering wanting a sponsor, also consider that you are not powerless in your journey. It's okay to ask for help and to want support. Think it's fantastic you are journaling and expressing your thoughts. It's a huge step forward.
Recovery to me is about the empowerment of choice as I only ever thought I was powerless when I was in active addiction.
Change is possible and you can affect it.

Having someone to take you through the steps and talk to is invaluable. Go shopping for a sponsor: Check out some meetings and listen to who you might vibe with. See if they raise their hand to be a sponsor and ask them.

Sponsors take you through the 12 steps. It's good

Yes thank you guys. That's what I mean. Sometime to lead by example of things such as journaling, daily gratitudes, meditations, etc. I'm seeing the activities people are posting about here and I am thinking with a sponsor I can help organize and learn, not necessarily what I should do, but what helps others stay focused on sobriety. Because right now it does feel scattered despite the optimism I feel to try these things.
